BLUE A N 1) W H I T E 194 9 43 Marion Colvin, Mary Cameron, Mary Lou Bou- tette, Helen Ash and Jean Andrews. The com¬ mentator was Miss Joan Sparrow, a former W.CL. student and according to her. the trend this spring is towards all hues of blue. Just before the Raster exams, a tea dance was held at noon with admission by Agora cards (and of course the gym was crowded). After the exams, there was another roundabout tea dance in aid of the J. L. McNaughton Scholarship Fund. Again something new was introduced after much discussion—a square dance with an old- time orchestra and Mr. Bull calling the squares. Everyone had a wonderful time and the cry went up at the end of the dance, “Let’s have more square dances!” How about it Mr. Bull? Think we could do it again? As always the Military Hall is the most popular Walkerville dance and every school girl dreams of becoming the most beautiful and charming young lady at the Ball. This year it is being held on Friday May 20th. and here ' s hoping you all have a good time. Happy Holidays! KATHRYN and JOYCE. STREET SCENE In the pounding on the pavement Of the busy city street.

r Hear ye, hear ye ! Whereas of this date, and on any other day for that matter, I proclaim that social functions play a vital part in moulding the characters of the students. Walkerville Social Crier! As the first assembly of the year closed last September, there was a great scurry to exchange cheery greetings with old classmates, but many of these familiar faces were missing. The educational year began to buzz along quickly, but not as quickly as the whirl of the social circle. Walkerville social functions were significantly introduced in the first weeks of October. We had barely settled down to our studies when three successful tea dances bore down on us. The first was held in the gym by our cadet officers. The Oirls’ Athletic Society then staged another dance in the form of a roundabout. This gave the girls their opportunity to approach the members of the football team for a dance. A third tea dance was sponsored by the orchestra and the dancers listened to the talent of their school. As old Mr. November peeked around the cor¬ ner. he saw excited girls casting meaningful glances at their heroes. Poor old Mr. November had to stop for a few minutes to decode these unspoken messages. Then it dawned on him that on the twelfth day of his reign the very popular Gamblers’ Gambol was to be held in the school gymnasium. Soon the eventful day arrived. The gym looked just as it should have, with dice, cards and all the significant decorations that the Social Committee of the Agora could think of. A great success as usual, the dance was the topic of conversation for many weeks. Unfortunately, certain unforgettable old demons were creeping up on us in the form of examinations and social activities were suspended until Commencement Night in December, when our graduates returned to receive their diplomas and pins. After the exercises and the heart¬ warming valedictory, the graduates and their friends went up to the gym to dance and get acquainted again. Winter having arrived in all its glory (minus snow), many students ate their lunch at school and appreciated very much the movies that were shown in the auditorium from 12:30 to 1 :00. At last the winter roundabout dance promised to us. was held on December 29, during the Christmas holidays. The “Walkerville hirl was such a success that it is to become an annual affair. Traditional mistletoe, holly and poinsettia sketches were placed in prominent spots and dominating the scene was a bigger than life-size, sparkly snowman. For the second year, the Girls’ Athletic Associ¬ ation successfully staged their fashion show with the co-operation of the C. H. Smith Company. They chose the first day of March for the twelve lovely models to show the latest in Windsor fashions. I know you could practically guess which girls were chosen for the models but just in case you can’t, they were Lonni Richardson, Marilyn Miller. Eden Lancaster, Cecile Jacques. Sandra Heffernan. Lorraine Duffin, Carol Davies.
